+-le 26/02/2005 20:43 +0800, Xin LI =E9crivait :
| My thought is that we add an optional component to the current DEPENDS
| specifier.  The scheme might be:
| 	file:package[:least_version]

We already support file:package[:target] :-) so, to be able to do something
better, something like file:package[:target][< | =3D | > )version]

| When building package, and least_version is omitted, then the
| registration will use the version that is installed on the system.

| Any suggestions?  Or is this totally not useful?

That would be most useful :-)
